Assuming the given scenario is a right angle triangle; (it helps to draw a diagram of the person and what they are seeing to better understand this question). 

tanФ=opp/adj 
tan(24)=(height of building)/280
280×tan(24)=height of building 
124.66 m = height of building. 

Hope I helped :)

The probability of contamination in batch 1 of a drug (event A) is 0.16, and the probability of contamination in batch 2 of the
VLD [36.1K]
We have:
Event A ⇒ P(A) = 0.16
Event B ⇒ P(B) = 0.09
Probability of event B given event A happening, P(B|A) = P(A∩B) / P(A) = 0.12

By the conditional probability, the probability of event A and event B happens together is given by:
P(B|A) = P(A∩B) ÷ P(A)
P(B|A) = P(A∩B) ÷ 0.16
0.12 = P(A∩B) ÷ 0.16
P(A∩B) = 0.12 × 0.16
P(A∩B) = 0.0192

When two events are independent, P(A) × P(B) = P(A∩B) so if P(A∩B) = 0.0192, then P(B) will be 0.0192 ÷ 0.16 = 0.12 (which take us back to P(B|A))

Since P(B|A) does not equal to P(B), event A and event B are not independent.

Answer: <span>Events A and B are not independent because P(B|A) ≠ P(B)</span>
